Snakedoctors-Brighter
Snakedoctors have a name and style that is synonymous to experimentation. Their sound is a unique take on the rock that we witnessed and heard through the late 80s and early 90s. The kind of magic that is peppered into their songs takes you in a different direction every time. This is their latest single, Brighter. Employing a rock palette that is a reminder of Alter Bridge’s mixed rock tracks, there is a lot to unpack here. With the strong rhythm and groove, they already establish a formwork for this song that is unique-crisp yet aggressive. The chord choices are the different blade edge they need, creating the tension before any of the drama unfolds. By the time the distortion kicks in, the heaviness and vocal delivery start to unfold as expected. This contrast is necessary in creating what is the powerful aura a song like this has. A grunge guitar tone is heard clearly in their sound, setting the theme and lyrics in place. Snakedoctors employ duality in the tones, and the resultant sounds are special highlights you won’t probably find in their other singles. A collaboration with Nik Hughes has to have a good percentage of Nik Hughes in it. Snakedoctors have become popular in the indie charts with their singles Heart Too Small and Wuss, among some other kickers. I could see frame by frame of a movie like Jumper (2008) executing this with certain perfection. The scene changes could be triggered with the chorus section, making the impact twofold.
